Clio 200 Oil Temp

[Bozz22]

Drove a Clio 200 for the first time today.

FF with recaros and cup suspension

Observations:-

Fantastic seats, steering and suspension and gear change.

Brakes pretty good.

Lumpy running when cold with the occasional flatspot at low revs even when hot. - is this normal?

No real performance below 4000revs but a VTEC style step change above.

Car has performance monitor which showed an oil temp above 100 deg C at times with spirited but not crazy driving - is this as would be expected?

Do these engines have oil coolers as standard?

Economy :-(

Thanks, Bozz22

Lumpy running on these is standard especially at cold (it's a bit s**t tbh) and the oil temp sounds about right to. I believe they run a water cooled plate but it's not really an oil cooler "as such"
